CONCEPTUAL MODEL for (SEMI-) AUTOMATED DERIVATION of EVALUATION CRITERIA in REQUIREMENTS MODELLING

Abstract

Requirements act as a limitation of the solution space, which represents the stakeholders' needs and guides the whole product development process. Therefore, forgotten requirements can lead to wrong decisions when using them as a basis for decision-making. This contribution introduces a novel approach to link the requirement and evaluation criteria models to address this problem. For setting up those criteria consistently, the requirements are classified using natural language processing and derived by a ruleset based on a developed mapping between requirement classes and criteria types.
